At last week’s Royal Highland Show, the new Tenant Farming Commissioner, Rob Black, met with members of the Tenant Farming Advisory Forum (TFAF). Much of their discussion centred on the future of the farming sector.

Farming plays a vital role in shaping the future of Scotland’s land. While the views of representative organisations like TFAF are essential, it’s equally important that we hear directly from those working on the ground. We want to understand what a fully reformed approach to land looks like from your perspective.

A brilliant few days at the #HighlandShow in both my TFC role and on the @ScotCroftingFed stand. Slightly sunburned, but worth it! Great to catch up with so many across the sector – stimulating, positive conversations all round. One of the best shows yet for me personally.

@MicrosoftHelps @MicrosoftHelps You have directed me to an automated agent, which is useless. I need direct human assistance to reset MFA on my business admin account. Calls are ignored, emails unanswered. This is a BUSINESS-CRITICAL failure. Fix it or I escalate legally.

[Rob Black @RaBlack88]

@MicrosoftHelps I have been locked out of my Microsoft 365 business account for DAYS due to an MFA issue. Support has ignored my emails & dropped my calls. My business is suffering! I demand an immediate escalation. Case ID: 2503070040008864 #MicrosoftFail #BusinessSupport

@DavyMcCracken Thanks Davy!

[Rob Black @RaBlack88]

It is an honour to be appointed to this role and to be part of this excellent team. An exciting challenge ahead that I hope to do justice following on from the excellent work of Dr Bob McIntosh.

Police buffoonery.

The incompetence here is wild.

@brucemcconachie Wow.

If you have a Scottish character in your film/TV/play/podcast, hire a Scottish actor. Literally nobody in the history of attempted Scottish accents has been convincing.

World Rugby has no plans to issue a public explanation of the decision not to award Scotland what would have been a winning try against France.

100% this, utter shambles the second half. Even down to 14 shouldn't be losing composure like that.

Scotland should have stripped a bonus point win and easily 40 points

In the end were lucky to win by a point.

@Scotlandteam Feels like a loss that.

To be 27-0 in front, not get a bonus point and to allow Wales back into that is unforgivable and huge questions need asked about the mentality and disciple in the second half.

Great to network with community groups and agencies and a chance to discuss and feedback the challenges, issues, and possible solutions that communities in rural Scotland face
